I've had them for 6 months now DD with some terrible roads, no problems!

flat black...... I have the metallic gunmetal color on my 8 that came on the car.... just got it a few weeks ago and washed the wheels. Two are a lighter shade than the others and I desperately want to powdercoat them flat black

So a bone stock evo x will take a set of these in 18x8.75 and clear the brakes and fit with no issues? Which offset? I saw somewhere a +20 is what you need to clear the brakes..I also want a tad more sidewall..

Bringing this post back from the dead. I'm really looking into getting me a set of the 527's in 18x8.75 with a +20mm offset. Would these fit on my 8 without rolling fenders? I'd be using 235/40 tires.

40 series tires will rub the crap out of the front mud guards inside the fender. you have to go with 35 series tires. 245s if they are narror 245s if not stay with 235 if you want to be sure there is no rubbing wiuthout rolling.

My current spring/summer set of rims rub the mud guards a little in the front. Only when I'm turning and they don't rub horrible. So it won't bother me much if they rub a little. Just don't want to roll my fenders if I don't have to.

I would rather roll around on the Stock rims then roll around on something that is not going to bend but shatter when some sort of impact happens. Stock rims will bend these unfortuntly shatter/break. Besides the fact that they blatently copy companies like Rays/wedsports who spend alot of time/money to research and develop their wheels.
Thats just my 2 cents
